About me

With almost two decades of expertise in the extraction of precious and critical metals, from leaching, purification (SX, IX) and recovery processes for precious metals to base metals and also recycling of Li and Co from lithium-ion batteries, my work has significantly contributed to the body of knowledge in hydrometallurgy and mineral processing. Throughout my career, I have cultivated strong leadership skills through project management and mentorship of students for nurturing the next generation of researchers in the field.
With a keen interest in academic and industrial collaboration, I am eager to contribute to cutting-edge research endeavours aimed at extracting metals in a sustainable ways.

Education

I have teaching experience from my previous role as an Associate Professor, where I taught several courses for mining engineering students, including Thermodynamics, Hydrometallurgy, Separation and Purification, Mineral Processing Plant Design, and Non-Ferrous Mineral Processing.

At LTU, my primary teaching contribution is within the course P0007K Hydrometallurgy, where I teach solvent extraction and ion exchange. I am also involved in the course Chemical Reactions in Mineral Resource Engineering (P0007K).

Background

I obtained my M.Sc. degree in Mineral Processing and Hydrometallurgy from TMU in Tehran in 2006. My master’s research focused on the hydrometallurgical extraction of strategic and precious metals from copper anode slime using leaching and solvent extraction techniques. I completed my Ph.D. in Mineral Processing and Hydrometallurgy in 2011, where my research investigated the hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, and kinetics of solvent extraction systems for gold recovery.
